To be clear, this site was designed as a private platform for me depositing material I discovered through years of research. The information herein is not meant to preach, teach, promote, or convince anyone of anything. Each person can decide for themself how they receive this material. Please do not take my words for the final truth. "Trust no one" is my recommendation. Cross check, research on your own, and verify everything.
You may find many things you've never seen before, along with things that seem shocking. I felt the same way when I first learned some of the things you will discover if you follow through each page. There's a lot to digest along the path ahead. So, why not...pour yourself a cup of tea, coffee, glass of wine, or your favorite drink, relax, and clear your mind. I promise you that this may be a journey on a long and winding road less traveled. I had to go over and over some things hard to accept at first.

We'll begin at the beginning: Genesis 3:15
"I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel."
These are God's words He inspired Moses to write many centuries later in Moses first book, Genesis, the first of five books of the Pentateuch of the Bible, referred to as "the Torah" by the Jews later. Moses wasn't there in the garden of Eden when God declared these words to His chief enemy, Satan, who appeared as a serpent snake to Eve. So, Moses had to be led by God to write these things for generations to come. And after reading this one verse, many questions arise.
Who was this "woman"?
Who were these "seeds" God spoke of? The seed of woman, and the seed of the serpent?
What is meant by "crushing thy (the serpent's) head"?
What "enmity" was God speaking of?
How was this "enmity" expressed?
God did not reveal the answers to these questions immediately. It took centuries, in fact, thousands of years to manifest the meaning and fulfillment. He allowed this prophecy to unfold over time so that all who would be given an opportunity to come to know if they would simply seek answers.
In fact, God promised as recorded at Matthew 7:7, that those who "seek, or ask" would be answered. Matthew himself was a Jew all his life and yet he had no idea what Genesis 3:15 meant yet. Nor did any of Jesus' apostles and disciples know yet until after Jesus dies what these things truly meant. None of the Jews then or even today still have no clue what this verse Moses wrote was all about. And yet the meaning was staring the Jewish religious leaders in Jesus' day in their faces. But Jesus told His followers that He (Jesus) would send them the "Holy Spirit" to teach these things. John 14:26.
What evidence is there that Jesus' owe disciples did not yet know of the "trinity"?
For one thing, the Bible was not completed until the death of the apostle John.
John merely mentioned being "baptised in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit."
In fact, it wasn't until the council of Nicea in 325 A.D. that the Church, as a whole along with hundreds of bishops present when it was declared as dogma, that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost (spirit) are all three "equal and co-eternal", thus a trinity, three personages but "one nature".
Up until then, many still were unclear, mistakenly believing that Jesus was a creature of God.
This was how "Arianism" became such universal problem, a heresy in the early Church.
Even today 2000 years later such groups as Jehovah Witnesses still continue this heresy of Arianism, teaching their followers that Jesus was only a creature of God.
Why didn't the Jewish leaders in Jesus's day not want to hear Jesus' message?
"My kingdom is not of this world", as John recorded in John 18:36, was not what Jews wanted. Rather, the Jews wanted an earthly kingdom with a new temple in Jerusalem with a king like David to rule and crush their earthly enemies. As they did for centuries, the Jews rejected God's plan to save mankind in His way, in His time. This continues to be the wish of Jews today.
Because the Jews rejected Jesus and His message, they did to Him what they did for centuries to all God's prophets who tried to warn them, "they killed all the prophets", Matthew 23:31-36.
So, in 33 A.D., the Jews orchestrated His crucifixion since Roman law prevented them from killing Him themselves. They needed to "destroy the evidence". This was the "enmity" God spoke of in Genesis.
When Jesus entered the world of mankind, He was preparing it to understand His gospel message.
He chose to arrive on the scene during Greco-Roman world empower, a time when the world was in transition from paganism (polytheism-worship of many gods, such as Buddhists who concocted a belief that countless on-eternal gods exist), and animism (that spirits exist in nature as divine-like mothers of all living things), the idea that deities exist in a celestial realm and that humans must offer up food, wine, and sacrifices in exchange for their divine protection.
While all these various worldviews were being fostered from many sectors of the world. It was the Greek philosophers who emerged exploring a more metaphysical, scientific approach to understanding cosmology, such as with the writings of Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, Pythagoras, etc. The Greco-Roman thinkers were aware of the monotheistic views of the ancient Hebrew people, but a new reality was emerging that was only hinted at in the ancient Hebrew culture, but never spoken of.
Prior to the Greek civilization, several ancient cultures and religious traditions featured groupings of gods, commonly called triads, triple, or trinities of gods. However, the ancient Hebrew people, later called Israelites (Jews) had no idea or belief in a God existing as a "trinity".
Then came the Roman Empire with its philosophical views focusing on applying practical ethics, duty, and virtue to daily life, governance, and civic responsibility rather than building on strictly abstract metaphysical systems.
The ancient patriarchs going back to the first man Adam, down to Noah, then descendants of Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Israel were given only partial knowledge og God.
No culture or civilization in history since the beginning has been given the full knowledge of the one true God and creator of the universe; not Asians, not Africans, not North or South Americans. And the ancient nation of Israel, the Jews, were only given shadows of what was to come. All they were required to do was follow some simple instructions along the way to prepare them for what to come many centuries later. That required trust and obedience in God, traits Jew have never been known to possess, except for a few. They were too proud to accept non-Jews as God's people as well.
On page #1, "The Nous", there is a short video that highlights clearly with "forensic evidence" of the reality that the universe and everything in it came about by intelligent design based on the science in the fields of astrophysics, molecular biology, cosmology, and mathematics.
God, not mindless evolution, is the force behind everything in existence in the universe.
Now all that is needed is to establish "why". If God was complete before time, space, and the physical universe was brought into existence, why does all this exist? Why are we here? What is God's purpose for humankind and what does the future hold for all mankind? Wow! Big questions.
Who can answer those kinds of questions other than an omnipotent, omniscient creator, God?
This leads to the next page 2 "Truth", and on to page 3, "the Bible", the ultimate source of truth of all existence before time and space that was revealed to mankind by the divine essence, Almighty God.
As you read those pages, you will discover that the original collection of writings of revealed truths were compiled by a man in 382 A.D., Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus, later named Jerome. This is all explained on page 3, "the Bible".
This site builds on the basis of one established truth on top of another, as Joanne explains in the video, "the Nous".
For those who dismiss the evidence either must come up with a universally acceptable alternative or resign themselves to "Amathia", a Greek term defined in the video. Each must decide for themself.
And where are the answers to these questions found? (John 17:3 & Matthew 7:7)
Jesus told those who would listen, these truths would come in two ways. (2 Thessalonians 2:14)
We all knows what a king is; (who holds supreme authority and head of a kingdom).
As "King of Kings", Jesus revealed who the supreme sovereign of the universe.
Even we as parents, humans experience a measure of authority and governance in a family. How?
Children must obey parents for their own good and to receive blessings from parents providing food, shelter, education, protection and undeserved loving kindness to them. Parents also guide and guard children from harm from outside evil influences and negative conduct.
This is why Jesus pointed out things NOT TO DO to prosper. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
And yet, even though "most" of mankind have engaged in such things in the past, Jesus provided a way to overcome these harmful stains in our lives. (1 John 1:9) But forgiveness comes at a cost.
God disciplines those He loves to guide them back to a righteous course. (Hebrews 12:6)
But discipline and chastisement is not always punishment. Discipline is training that develops self-control, obedience, or orderly behavior. This is what loving parents do to help their children grow.
But at the end of the day, our life is in our own hands. (Psalm 118:109). ~ Douay Rheims

WELCOME! This site is not meant to point out wrongs, sins, or all the bad things in this world.
Also, this site is not intended to convince, coerce, or persuade anyone of anything.
We must dignify the intelligence of each person and their ability to decide for themselves.
I'm not a bishop or priest, not a theologian or Bible scholar. I'm just a guy who looks for answers.
So, why pay any attention to an "unlettered" average guy?
"Consider not the messenger, rather the message they convey." ~ Thomas Aquinas circa 1250 A.D.
As "free moral agents", we not only have the right to speak up and share the faith with others, all Catholics were given a duty to defend the beliefs. (1 Peter 3:15) Silence is not an option.
When a house is burning down with people inside, a good person would at least say something.
History is filled with good men and women who did just that, they spoke out to help others see something they may not have noticed on their own. It's not "preachy", it's concern and caring enough.
Doing this doesn't require special degrees, titles, or assignments. It just takes real love for neighbor.
And for what it's worth, Jesus and His apostles were "unlettered" as well. (Acts 4:13)
The teachings of Jesus could fill libraries, (John 21:25), so, we can't possibly cover it all herein. The reader must do some research on their own, and take in knowledge too. (John 17:3 & Matthew 7:7)
Maybe it's time to put on the "Indiana Jones" persona and do some serious exploring.

To begin with, it's best to start with a clean slate by putting aside preconceived ideas and let the facts, the forensic evidence guide your footsteps.
Let's consider such questions as:
-
What's God's purpose for mankind?
-
Why does God permit wickedness to prevail?
-
What does the future hold for mankind?
-
What does God expect of each person?
Let's begin answering these deep philosophical questions with two commands of Christ:
1.) "Love God with our whole heart, whole soul, and whole mind, and,
2.) "Love your neighbor as ourself." (Matthew 22:37-40)
Love of God motivates us to love our neighbors.
How did God first manifest His love for mankind?
First, He created man, then gave man a woman as a lifelong mate.
Then consider:
1. Approximately 90% - 95% of the humans live on 10% of the earth's land surface.
2. Approximately 71% of the earth is covered by water, with less the 1% drinking water.
3. Approximately 50% of the 10% of land is suitable for agriculture and food production.
Yet God supports over 8 billion people today.
Over millennia man has written over 150 million books kept in places like the British Library and the Library of Congress, including the most widely read book, the Holy Bible, now available in over 4000 languages of the 7000 known languages and dialects that exist. (Matthew 28:19-20) Every nation!
It would take roughly 400,000 years of continuous reading to read every book ever written.
Can anyone honestly say they know enough, or have experienced enough of life to say they are ready to embrace their love ones, one last time, to enjoy their last meal, listen to their favorite concert, gaze upon their last sunset, or speak their last words of love to their children?
If your answer is honestly, "NO", did all this happen by blind, pitiless random chance?
With this in mind, it's time to take the first step together, "Page 1. , Veritas ~ the Truth".
